BOB won -

BOB read this on a blog a couple of weeks ago -

If you have not read The Giving Quilt yet, it will be available in paperback from Plume on April 2nd. I have two copies to give away, as well as a few other prizes which have been given to me by the publisher. If you would like to win one of the prizes, leave a comment answering the question “(insert question here)?” I will draw names on (insert date here).

So BOB left a comment answering the question -

And when the blogger posted a list of the winners -

BOB’s name was included - ;))

She sent me an email - Have you read the book yet?

I answered - Not yet - but it’s on my list - ;))

She came back with - I need your address to mail your prize to, thanks!

I gave it to her and said - THANKS!!

Then I get the email - Your pin is in the mail! Wear it proudly!

Whaaaaaaat?!?!

BOB doesn’t wear pins!! -

I responded with -Pin??? - What pin??? - I thought that I had won a copy of the book - ;))

Nope! - Just a U.S. Postage Paid bar-coded stamp from the US Post Office. It cost her over two bucks to mail it to me! And the lady probably had to make a special trip to the post office to mail all of the "prizes" - so I sure hope that the "publisher" made it worth her while to host the "contest" in the first place - ;))

FYI - I have always restricted comments to “Registered User” - and I have always moderated my comments - and I will continue to do so. I like to read your comments before I publish them - and I DO publish ALL of them - whether you agree with me or not. The only ones that I DO NOT publish are the “buy-me” and "spam" crap.

So - if you want to leave a comment but don’t like your word verification choice - hit the little arrow thingy to the right of the box until you find one that you DO like. I can’t always read them either but word verification is there for a reason and I refuse to be bullied into taking it off - ;))
